In `@crypto/Cargo.toml`:
- Line 10: Update the package manifest alongside the edition declaration to set
the dashcore-crypto package MSRV to Rust 1.89, inheriting the workspace value
instead if that workspace setting is already defined.
In `@crypto/src/bls.rs`:
- Around line 443-453: Update verify_secure_in so failed carry_to::<S>()
conversions are propagated instead of silently discarded: replace the
filter_map(...ok()) collection with a fallible map and collect that returns the
conversion error via ?. Preserve the existing carried key collection and secure
verification flow for valid keys.
In `@dash/src/sml/masternode_list_engine/validation.rs`:
- Line 42: Replace the hard-coded BlsScheme::Modern at all five quorum
validation and verification call sites with a selector based on
quorum.quorum_entry.version: use BlsScheme::Legacy for versions below 3 and
BlsScheme::Modern otherwise, then pass that selected scheme to
QualifiedQuorumEntry::validate and verify_message_digest.
In `@key-wallet/src/account/bls_account.rs`:
- Line 66: Update from_public_key_bytes to validate and canonicalize the BLS
point before constructing ExtendedBLSPubKey: parse bls_public_key via the
fallible BLSPublicKey conversion, apply the Modern scheme and canonicalize it,
and map any failure to Error::InvalidParameter("Invalid BLS public key").
In `@key-wallet/src/derivation_bls_bip32.rs`:
- Around line 289-304: Update ExtendedBLSPrivKey so invalid private-key bytes
cannot cause public_key_bytes or public_key_bytes_legacy to panic: keep
private_key private and validate it during construction, or change both methods
to return and propagate the appropriate Result. Preserve public-key construction
behavior and do not alter unrelated public-key code.

Dash final commitment version 1 2 3 BLS scheme legacy basic quorum signature
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In the context of the Dash network and its Long-Living Masternode Quorums (LLMQs), the "final commitment" refers to the qfcommit message, which is broadcast to finalize a Distributed Key Generation (DKG) session [1][2]. The versioning and BLS scheme serialization for these commitments are critical for network synchronization and compatibility [3][4]. As of the Dash Core v19.0 hard fork, the network updated how quorumPublicKey, quorumSig (recovered threshold signature), and sig (aggregated commitment signatures) are serialized within the qfcommit message [1][2]. The version field in the qfcommit message determines which BLS signature scheme is used for these fields [3][5]: Version 1: Uses the legacy BLS scheme for non-rotated quorums (deprecated by v19) [2][5]. Version 2: Uses the legacy BLS scheme for rotated quorums (deprecated by v19) [2][5]. Version 3: Uses the basic BLS scheme for non-rotated quorums (introduced in v19) [2][4]. Version 4: Uses the basic BLS scheme for rotated quorums (introduced in v19) [2][4]. By including a version field, Dash ensures that the chain remains backwards compatible, allowing nodes to correctly interpret and sync existing keys and signatures serialized with the legacy scheme alongside those using the newer basic BLS scheme [3][4]. For developers, the Dash Core RPC interface explicitly supports both schemes, and the basic scheme has become the default for new key generation since the v19 activation [6].

Select the BLS scheme from each final commitment version.
QuorumEntry.version uses the legacy scheme for versions 1 and 2 and the modern scheme for versions 3 and 4. QualifiedQuorumEntry::validate and verify_message_digest use the caller-provided scheme directly. The quorum lookup paths retain historical entries, so hard-coding BlsScheme::Modern can reject valid historical quorum commitments, InstantLocks, and ChainLocks.
Use one selector based on quorum.quorum_entry.version at all five call sites:
let scheme = if quorum.quorum_entry.version < 3 {
BlsScheme::Legacy
} else {
BlsScheme::Modern

- Pin the dependency — =0.1.0-beta, or commit Cargo.lock. As it stands,
any future 0.1.x lands in the consensus path on its own; blsful was
pinned to an exact rev. - Test the legacy-encoding change — dash-pkc normalizes stray high bits
where blsful rejected them, so a key that was dropped from the aggregate
can now join it. Worth pinning against Dash Core's behaviour. - Drop the .expect() in to_bytes_legacy, or restore point validation on
deserialization — decode is now a length check only, so a corrupt stored
pubkey panics. - Fix the release note — there's no private-key encoding correction; the
old code already reduced mod r. It's type plumbing - Address CodeRabbit comments

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winReject non-canonical private-key bytes during deserialization.
Both decoders use
canonicalize(). This operation reduces arbitrary 32-byte values modulo the scalar-field order. An out-of-range persisted key can therefore decode as a different secret key instead of returningError::InvalidPrivateKey.Create
BlsSkBytes, callas_scheme(CANONICAL).validate(), and store the original bytes only after validation.Based on learnings, serialized Rust key formats must reject malformed input instead of normalizing it.

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.
The Bincode format remains compatible. The explicit dependency pin is appropriate because this repository does not track Legacy G1 high-bit masking is intentional for the legacy scheme. I will not report it as an unwanted reduction. The restored G1 point validation and propagated errors address the validation concern. I will leave the maintainer-guidance discussion unresolved. 🧠 Learnings usedYou are interacting with an AI system. |

Motivation
This pull request performs three distinct actions that have three distinct reasons:
Introducing the
dashcore-cryptocrateUpstream signalled an intent to split up pure cryptographic operations in rust-bitcoin#5283 and realized this change in rust-bitcoin#5680, backporting the relevant changes is a separate ordeal that is being worked on in the process as it relates to secp256k1.
But to prevent the TODO list from piling up, it was better to establish
dashcore-cryptoearly and with Dash-specific code. BLS fits this bill and is being done in this pull request.Isolating backend types behind newtypes
dashcorein its nature needs separate types for storage and manipulating cryptographic data, the API contracts for which need to be more explicit and tailored fordashcore's needs and existing conventions rather than following whatever convention the backend library imposes, which is an implementation concern that shouldn't leak downstream.As this pull request is performing a backend switch, this was a good opportunity to codify the existing API contract.
Switching from our
blsfulfork todash-pkc(a part of thebase-sdk)The Dash Base SDK itself came to be from the need of an embeddable library (closer to
libbitcoinkernelthanlibbitcoin_server) while working on the Hyphen block explorer and one of the constraints placed was first-classno_stdsupport. All crates areno_stdcapable. This included work on the BLS scheme due to the pre-IETF legacy scheme.Over time,
dash-pkcgrew to mature its BLS implementation, with provisional testing with Dash Core as a potential candidate to replace the current reference implementation as Chia has retired their fork.dash-pkcunlikeblsfuldoesn't only support legacy encoding but legacy operations and has worked to be bug-for-bug compatible in the aim of being a slot-in replacement (see base-sdk#20 and base-sdk#26, FFI work on this is currently in progress).This effort has made
dash-pkca relatively more mature implementation (test corpus available here and work to make it reproducible using Python scripts is in progress, see bls-signatures#125 for prior work on reviving Python binds).Additional Information
Depends on test(key-wallet): pin scalar reduction paths, refusal of zero scalars and public keys off the curve #1038
The
impl_eq_ord_hash!macro for pre-1.48 compatibility has been long dead as the effective MSRV has been set to 1.89 in rust-dashcore#107. Note that the MSRV fordash-pkcis 1.85 (source).Helper macros are used in this pull request from
dash-types, specificallytype_cvrt!,make_bytes!andmake_sbytes!for convenience and for secret-holding type correctness. This overlaps with this codebase'simpl_{array,bytes}_newtypeand the gap in types have been manually implemented to prevent surface degradation.blsfultypes were dropped before the backend switch, this is a breaking change.BlsErrorneeded to be a distinct error fromQuorumValidationErrorto enable the split todashcore-cryptothat doesn't assume application specifics.BSL-1.0had to be added to the license allowlist due toxxhash-rustexisting as a dependency in thebase-sdkdependency tree. The license is permissive and shouldn't conflict with our existing license terms.
